help !!!! I want to make a bushcraft knife for regular use with scouts, with the intention of using it for the same project with scouts for the future, can you advise where to get good quality knife blades for such a thing???? the idea is for the scouts to make the handles.

You'll need to make up a decent order to make the postage worthwhile.
You could also google Moonraker knives or English handmade Knives.

brisa??? they look perfect for what i had in mid for my scouts. for myself similar as well, suitable for very regular use. how about sheath's? something i have not been very good at.
I recently came across this store, and I liked what I saw, I especially liked the detail in which they discribe all their products with the steel's additives etc

If you are asking me. The antler and horn are also from Brisa.
The wood came from a friend who is into wood turning and the wood is mostly offcuts of beach and mahogony etc.
The leather and tools are from either Leprevo or Tandy Leather.
The thing is though unless you and your helpers can do a decent job of making a knife how can you teach others?

you have a fair point, but we have done this before, along time ago, possibly 15 years ago and so I want to give myself a refresh before i make them with my scouts. or at least thats the plan.
Someone may say the postage is high from Brisa but if you are buying enough it is cheaper in my experience.
Glad to see you know what you are doing. One of my main bits of advice to any Leader is to try doing it yourself before teaching the kids any activity.
Remember to show us the results.
Do you still want advice on sheathmaking?
